Supervisor Myers: We heard from Dutchess County on this and they said it was a matter of local concern. ROLL CALL: Ayes: Councilmen Eagleton, Conte, Cifone, Krakower, Tancredi, and Supervisor Myers Nays: None CARRIED: 6-0 Motion made to suspend the rules for public speaking on Public Hearing #3: Supervisor Myers/S. Eagleton CARRIED: 6-0 Doreen Tignanelli: At the June 23rd meeting, the developer, David Kaminski, was here with his legal counsel and threatened Article 78 against the Town and one of their complaints was that there was a total lack of public discussion and no transparency in the amendments proposed . So, I would suggest that if the Town Board is not voting on this tonight, you may consider having a workshop similar to what you did when you had the Master Plan and Zoning changes several years back. There would not be any public comment at the workshop, but the public would be able to understand what the proposed changes are and then that would eliminate the transparency issue.

Tancredi CARRIED: 6-0 Bryan Orser: Supervisor for West Avenue Realty: We have an application down stairs to get a demo permit for this. The only thing that Wayne was missing was a demo plan and I picked that up this afternoon and I will get the stuff in tomorrow. We are hoping to get the building down

soon. We had given them a demo plan and they had wanted more because there is an interior wall that they want stabilized with supports. We had to go to William Road here to put a plan together for this and I have it right here in front of me and I will give this to Wayne in the morning and hopefully he will be able to issue a permit to us. Supervisor Myers: Wayne, is this agreeable to you? Wayne Cichon, Deputy Building Inspector: We will certainly accept the plan, but that’s not the only documentation that’s been asked for. Councilman Krakower: We can go forward with this resolution, either way or the other, if they get everything in and get it done, fine. Town Attorney: This resolution in the statute provides for the time frame for them to commence within no less than 30 days. Supervisor Myers: So what’s going to happen is we are going to go ahead and approve this resolution and that’s going to start the “Clock ticking” and you have 30 days to get all your ducks in a row and get all the approvals from Wayne to move forward. Wayne Cichon, Deputy Building Inspector: I’ve been working on this project and have had a lot of communications with Councilman Tancredi on it. We’ve actually issued Orders to Remedy on this project back in 2008. We’ve done a series of inspections consistently with this. The biggest fear that we acknowledged back when we decided this was truly an unsafe building, was the fact that the side that faces Raymond Avenue is the true danger to the public. Not forgetting that there is a school across the street on the corner that we have traffic flowing by and that kind of thing and pedestrians walking there, but that is an un-reinforced wall in a bad scenario that we get a storm, winds in excess of 60 to 80 miles an hour, which are common in this area, that can come down really, really quick. After doing some more research, we found out that the prosecutorial manner was delinquent because the “Orders to Remedy” expire at a certain time for prosecution purposes. The violations don’t go away if they don’t fix it, so we re-sited the property and we moved forward with all of that and you all should have gotten a copy of what I have prepared in that unsafe buildings report. Town Attorney Hagstrom: Would you provide some of your pictures, showing the dangers, to the Town Clerk as part of this hearing please? (OK) Also gave pictures to the Board. Wayne Cichon: Some of the building may have asbestos and it needs to be taken out and it should have been properly done then when demoed, but it wasn’t, and they still, under law, have to do this. Town Attorney Hagstrom requested that the UNSAFE BUILDING REPORT be included as part of the record. Motion made to resume the rules: Supervisor Myers/T. Tancredi CARRIED: 6-0

You have to hire a private contractor. Town Attorney Hagstrom: This will actually come back to the Town Board once you have the charges set. That’s the way the statute reads, to assess the charges at that point. So, when we get the charges, keep track of them and then we will bring them back here for another resolution, not a public hearing, but just a resolution.

SO MOVED: S. Eagleton/J. Conte Councilman Conte: If we go in here and do this Order to Remedy and we cut this grass and we then apply these charges to these properties and these people still don’t go and cut their grass in the future and we cut again and charge them and cut it again and we charge them and all of a sudden this lien on this property is so substantial that nobody is going to be able to buy this, what is the process of this. If we have $50,000 against this property, are we going to scare people off and they don’t buy the property because of $50,000 back taxes on it, they are not going to want to buy it. Is there a contingency plan where we can turn around and say “ If a certain value of fines is imposed on this property, could it potentially be the Town of Poughkeepsie’s where we can turn around and sell it and make the money back?” Town Attorney Hagstrom: There are a couple of problems that Sarah Davis and I have discussed. One of them is, the way the statute reads, it’s a one shot deal and we just recently within the past few days discussed changing the statute so that we can do No. 1, go back and do that and No. 2, once you do have a lien and it doesn’t get paid you can foreclose on it. So, what is going to happen with a lot of these properties, for instance, the one at 2 Bird Lane, we already know has a super mortgage on it, the guardians for the two owners, who are both in a nursing home, said that the mortgage is something like $300,000 and their highest bid on the house is $190,000. So, we know going into that one, we can try to stabilize it because there is no one there and it won’t get worse. The answer to your question, once you have a lien, you can foreclose, if it’s worth it. Councilman Krakower: How far back in priority are we , I’m guessing we are behind in the bank, but are we much further back on priority if that property forecloses on it before we get paid? Town Attorney Hagstrom: We have not done title searches on these properties. The idea is to establish that if there are no further efforts, we can continue to remove it and charge the owner. Supervisor Myers: The County has to make good on the taxes if the owner doesn’t pay the taxes, the County will pay them.

Marc Pfeifer, Town Highway: So far, it looks like it has to come out of my budget and I don’t have it. Supervisor Myers: I think it will have to until such time we get reimbursed for it. If the owner doesn’t pay the taxes, it goes to the County and the County reimburses the Town. Town Attorney Hagstrom: I would like to ask Mr. Wojtowicz to give a report to the Town Board as to how to do this at the next COW Meeting. Motion made to resume the rules: Supervisor Myers/M.

Town Attorney Hagstrom: Yes, this is Commercial property that is empty, next to the Beechtree. Councilman Tancredi: He didn’t answer an Order to Remedy. Doreen Tignanelli: My next question is #23 about the Greenway Environmental Services. Does that have to do with the fact that when the gentleman was here the last meeting he said that DEC would not allow them to build in a flood plan. Do you have more detail on what they are seeking DEC approval of? Town Attorney Hagstrom: Mr. Beer does, but just in general, it is to apply for a permit to see if DEC will grant a permit to add fill so you can put a landfill on it.

BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Poughkeepsie does hereby authorize the Supervisor, on behalf of the Town of Poughkeepsie, to execute the Intermunicipal Dutchess Rail Trail Agreement with the County of Dutchess, which agreement is attached. SO MOVED: S. Krakower/T. Tancredi Councilman Krakower: Are there any changes to this from last year? Supervisor Myers: No, there are not. Tom Meyering said the maintenance on the Trail is significantly less work than he had anticipated. It gets lots and lots of use and so it’s good and he drives down the Trail once a week and picks up the little bit of litter that might be there and the people are very good about respecting that and so it works out very well.

SO MOVED: J. Conte/S. Eagleton Supervisor Myers: They had a repair in 2005 and that lasted five years and cost between $150,000 to $200,000 and the parts there now are way beyond that and if we don’t declare an emergency situation, we will not be able to get it completed and restored this year before snow is flying and this is a hazard.

Don Beer, Engineer: Town Highway Supervisor: It is broken about 12 to 15 feet deep. It’s going to be about $100,000.00 and it will come from the money that we got from Vassar for the sewer they didn’t pay for over the years. If it had been done right the first time, it would have saved us close to a million dollars.

The License was granted to Mr. Rosen. Motion made to suspend the rules for public speaking: Supervisor Myers/T. Tancredi CARRIED: 6-0 Doreen Tignanelli: I heard a lot of talk this evening about the Budget. It is about that time of year and I want to bring something to the Board’s attention. At the June 28th Arlington Fire District Meeting, there was a discussion that they needed to remove a shed and they needed to black top an area. I know the Town Board has no control over the Arlington Fire District Budget. They said they got three prices for the blacktopping and then there was a discussion about how they were going to remove the shed and Chairman Patrick Rose said that they would ask Marc from across the street, taking that to mean Marc Pfeifer from the Highway Department. The Business Manager said that it was going to be a pretty tricky and they really need someone who would know how to remove a shed, but he would check with the Highway Department anyway.

My husband asked them “How do you propose to use the Town Highway Department? What arrangements do you have with the Town? Chairman Rose said, “Well, I’ve worked in the Fire District for 30 years and that’s the way it’s always been done, as far back as when Stanley Still, Sr. was there I would just ask and it was done and it was at no cost to anyone.” Well, that’s not true, it’s a cost to the taxpayers. Also, you have people in the Fairview District to pay taxes that funds the Town Highway Department and the Arlington Fire District is using the Town Highway Department’s crew and services and saying it is at no cost to anyone. This just didn’t sound right to us as taxpayers. They should come before the Town Board and ask permission to use the Town Highway Department. There have been so many instances where we have questioned the commissioners as to their budget and their process of spending money and I have concerns about that. When you make an accusation in front of the TV here, you better have your facts straight. Supervisor Myers: You are right, they should come to the Board to ask permission to use the Town Highway services. Robert Rubin: Just like to take a moment to thank Sean (Councilman Eagleton). At a community meeting several weeks ago over at the Fire house on Vassar Road, I attended and I thought it was very interesting to hear what the other members of our fire districts had to say. Thank you Sean, it went well. Geoffrey Patterson, Town Tax Receiver: I came out tonight because there was some incorrect information being thrown around by Mr. Krakower. First of all, in 2006-2007 I took Am Track up there to Rochester and Syracuse, New York and they have a shuttle that comes to the train station to pick me up and a lot of people did this. The Receiver of Taxes in Hyde Park went with me. In 2008, I didn’t go. 2009, in Queensbury, New York, I took my car because to the best of my knowledge, Am Track doesn’t run that way. This year I went to Lake Placid and to the best of my knowledge, Am Track does not go to Lake Placid and so that is why I drove my car. The reason why I didn’t take the Town Car is because about three years ago, Mark Fink and I had to travel down to a Town Hall in East Chester and the car broke down and I called Bill and he had to come all the way down to East Chester to pick us up and he gave us a loan-a-car, which happened to be the Supervisor’s old car that Sue Miller took up to her Town Meeting and that broke down. Mark and I were happy we got home safe and sound. So, I thought, by driving my own car, in case my car broke down, I could call my Triple A and they could come. As far as returning a check for a $1, I’ve never done that, in fact, I can prove that I’ve taken money out of my own pocket on those occasions when a person was a dollar short or 50 cents short. If you are talking about $30 or $100, I can’t take that out of my pocket. When I was first appointed here in 2005, the Town Board took $6,000 out of my pay because it was stated that I had to learn the job, so, to the best of my ability, I’ve done the best job I could. Catherine Crane was making $46,000 and Joe Davis said I’m taking $6,000 from you because you have to learn and so I’m making $40,000. I can live with that, but don’t say on camera here, that I’m shorting people a dollar, it’s not true. Mark Pfeifer: Regarding The Fire Department moving the shed, just so everyone knows, in the past the Fire House does things for us and in return we try and help them out. We are saving the taxpayers dollars one way or another and we help each other out.
